2. Description of the Related Art Facsimile devices include a so-called multi-address transmitter which temporarily stores image information of a document to be transmitted in an image memory and then transmits the image information to a designated destination. An example of the broadcast device is that described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-103462.

In this device, a notification is issued by a buzzer or the like at the end of the transmission by a predetermined button operation during transmission, and at the same time as the notification, the transmission of the image information in the image memory is stopped so that a telephone or a facsimile is provided. A period during which only the interrupt transmission by the device is possible is provided, and after the communication by the telephone or the facsimile device is completed within the period, the transmission of the image information in the image memory is restarted again.

Therefore, in this device, the operator can quickly perceive this at the end of the broadcast transmission, and can promptly perform the transmission by the telephone or the facsimile device when necessary.

[0005]

However, in the interrupt communication method in such a conventional facsimile broadcasting apparatus, after transmitting all the image information in the image memory, the image information in the image memory is transmitted. Therefore, the interruption transmission or the copying operation cannot be performed by the facsimile device or the telephone during the transmission of the predetermined page because the interruption is stopped and the interruption transmission is performed by the telephone or the facsimile device.

That is, in this device, when the memory transmission is once started, the stop operation by the button operation functions after the specified number (for example, all pages) of the image information is sent, so that the operator can be urgently different. When sending the original document, it is necessary to wait until the buzzer or the like notifies that the transmission of the specified number of image information in the memory is completed, which causes a problem that communication efficiency deteriorates.

Further, when the transmission of the image information in the image memory is restarted after the communication by the telephone or the facsimile machine is completed within the interruption period, the transmission of the image information becomes unnecessary during the memory transmission. There is a problem in that this cannot be erased and unnecessary communication costs are incurred. In addition to this, if the entire image information cannot be transmitted and the transmission is interrupted and the call is recalled, it is necessary to select a function such as file clear to delete the file. There was a problem that it was troublesome.

Further, when the operation button is unnecessarily pressed, an interruption period occurs for a certain period of time, so that the image information is not immediately transmitted and an extra waiting time occurs. There was a problem. Therefore, the present invention interrupts the transmission of the image information in the image memory in the middle of a predetermined page to enable the communication or copy operation by the telephone and the facsimile device, displays the process after the interruption, and selects a plurality of selection modes. By making it selectable by, it is possible to perform communication or copy operation by the telephone or facsimile device without waiting for the end of the transmission of the image information in the image memory, omitting unnecessary waiting time and improving the communication function. Can be done,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an interrupt communication method in a facsimile broadcasting apparatus that can most appropriately perform processing after interruption.

Further, according to the present invention, the mode selectable by the operator is an immediate transmission restart mode in which transmission of untransmitted image information is immediately started after the transmission is interrupted, and an untransmitted image information is transmitted after a lapse of a certain time after the transmission is interrupted. Transmission restart mode after a certain period of time to start transmission, and transmission abort mode that immediately aborts transmission
By setting the type, it is possible to communicate with a facsimile machine after the interruption, delete the transmission image information in the image memory, or restart the broadcast transmission immediately after the interruption, depending on various situations. An object of the present invention is to provide an interrupt communication method in a multifunctional facsimile broadcasting apparatus capable of performing processing after interruption.

Further, according to the present invention, when the stop key of the operation panel is pressed while a predetermined page is being transmitted from the image memory, the transmission is immediately ended in the middle of the page, or the page is transmitted. By selecting whether to wait until the end, depending on the operation mode, when you want to urgently perform communication or copy operation with a telephone or a facsimile machine, you can end the transmission immediately in the middle of the page and greatly reduce the waiting time. In addition, when it is not necessary to urgently perform communication by a facsimile device, etc., it is possible to prevent the same page from being retransmitted by waiting until the page transmission is completed, thus improving the economical efficiency of transmission. It is an object of the present invention to provide an interrupt communication method in a facsimile machine capable of performing the communication.

Next, the interrupt method in the broadcast transmission of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flow chart of the transmission interruption processing shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 show the CP of this embodiment.
It constitutes the software executed in U2.
In the present embodiment, basically, a task consisting of three groups that perform the operations as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is configured, and apparently three tasks can run at the same time. And, normally, there are three activation monitoring tasks, and when these find some activation factor, they activate the task in the same group,
When there is no activation factor, the process moves to the activation monitoring task of the next group and the processes of groups 1 to 3 are performed.

In the facsimile broadcasting device 1 of the present embodiment, the destination of the transmission, the items to be transmitted, etc. are input by the operation panel 11 in advance, and the image information of the original read by the scanner 8 is encoded by the DCR 10 to obtain the image memory 9.
Accumulated in. The stored image information is managed by the tables 21 to 23 on the RAM 4 as shown in FIG.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flow charts shown in FIGS. First, the second group of tasks finds a destination table whose calling time has passed based on the file table 21 of the RAM 4, and performs the calling task shown in S11. After the call is completed, the protocol task shown in S12 is activated, phase B is executed, and after completion, the image information transmission task shown in S13 is activated.

Here, the image memory calling task shown in S31 of the third group is started, and the image memory 9 is called as shown in S32.
Perform the work to call the transmission image information in. Specifically, after the specified image information in the image memory 9 is read, the DC
This image information is decoded by R10 and one line data is arranged in the line buffer on the RAM4. When one line is prepared, S33 is activated to monitor the first group (operation task).

On the other hand, in the image information transmission task, S14 is activated, and the image information called in the line buffer on the RAM 4 is encoded by the DCR 10 in order to match the mode of the facsimile apparatus of the transmission destination, and then the modem 5 and N are connected.
After outputting to the line L via the CU 6, the third group is activated as shown in S15. At this time, in the third group, as shown in S34, it is determined whether the decoding of one page of the transmission image information is completed or not by RTC (control return signal) or EO which is a page end signal.
Monitor by FB. Next, if the decryption of this page is not completed, that is, if the page is in the middle, S
35 is started, and whether the operator has pressed the stop key is monitored. If the stop key is pressed, S36 is started and it is monitored whether the continuation flag is turned on until the end of the page.

If the continuation flag is not ON, the operation panel 11 displays "Continue to end of page /
"Immediate interruption" is displayed, and the operator's response is monitored while the first page is being decoded. Next, S38 is started, and if the operator does not instruct immediate termination, S39 is started, and it is monitored whether or not the operator has instructed to continue, and if it is instructed to continue, S40 is started. Turn on the flag to continue until the end of the page.

Next, when the decoding of one page is completed through S32 to S34, S41 is activated, and it is monitored whether or not there is a next page. If there is, the S42 is activated and the stop key is pressed. Whether or not the button has been pressed is monitored, and if the button has been pressed, the process proceeds to S43 to end the processing, and shifts to control of startup monitoring. As a result, the broadcast transmission is temporarily interrupted when the decoding of the first page is completed.

On the other hand, when the operator gives an immediate interruption in S38, the process proceeds to S43, the processing is terminated, and the control of the start monitoring is performed. At this time, the decoding is suspended in the middle of one page. Decoding is performed by the third group, and at the same time, S14 is performed by the second group.
After encoding one line with, after executing the third group in S15,
Since it is monitored in S16 whether or not the encoding of one page is completed, in response to the start monitoring control of the third group in S43, S
If it is determined in step 18 that the stop key has been pressed, the termination protocol is executed in step S19, the processing is terminated in step S20, and the process proceeds to start monitoring and the group S
After activating the operation task shown in 1, the operation panel 11 displays "restart immediate transmission", "restart transmission after a certain period of time", and "end transmission" as shown in S2.

Therefore, each of the above modes is displayed while the broadcast transmission is temporarily interrupted. At this time, if the operator wants to send an urgent manuscript or the like by a facsimile device, makes an urgent call, or makes an urgent copy, the mode is pressed. At this time, the call origination time of the destination table 23 item b6 is updated after 5 minutes as usual, and the transmission start page, the number of call originations and the transmission error information of the items b7 to b9 are updated. Therefore, at the time of this interruption, the operator can send an urgent manuscript or the like. Then, after 5 minutes, the broadcast transmission is restarted again.

On the other hand, if the stop key is pressed by mistake, the operator presses the mode. At this time, the calling time of the item b6 of the destination table 23 is rewritten to the current time, and the highest priority calling bit is set in the item b1. Then, at the time when this operation is completed, the call initiation is immediately started by the activation monitoring of the second group, and the image information can be continuously transmitted.

On the other hand, when the transmission information becomes unnecessary,
The operation pushes the mode. At this time, the valid bit of the item a1 of the file table 21 is dropped, and all the page tables 22 linked in the table 21
The valid bit of the first byte of the destination table 23 is dropped, and FFH (stop code) is put in the page table 22 to clear the file.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the transmission of the image information in the image memory 9 is interrupted in the middle of a predetermined page, and at this time, the communication or copy operation by the telephone or the facsimile device is enabled, and the processing after the interruption is performed. While displaying
Since the method of restarting the broadcast transmission is selected according to a plurality of selection modes, it is possible to enable the communication or copy operation by the telephone or the facsimile device without waiting for the completion of the transmission of the image information in the image memory 9. As a result, wasteful waiting time can be omitted to improve the communication function, and the operator can appropriately perform the processing after the interruption.

Further, the mode selectable by the operator is set to three types: an immediate transmission restart mode, a transmission restart mode after a certain time, and a transmission abort mode. Therefore, when the immediate transmission restart mode is selected, when the stop key is pressed by mistake and the broadcast transmission is interrupted,
The broadcast transmission can be immediately restarted, and the adverse effect due to the malfunction of the stop key can be promptly dealt with.

Further, when the transmission restart mode after a certain period of time is selected, the communication or copy operation by the telephone or the facsimile device can be enabled within the certain period of time, and the communication function can be improved. Furthermore, when the transmission cutoff mode is selected, the transmission can be immediately terminated when the broadcast transmission is no longer required, and the communication cost can be saved. In addition, when the transmission of all the originals in the image memory 9 is not completed and the call waiting state is started, it is not necessary to delete the file by using the function such as file clear. Work can be performed easily.

Further, when the stop key of the operation panel 11 is pressed while a predetermined page is being transmitted from the image memory 9, the transmission is ended immediately in the middle of the page, or the transmission of the page is ended. Whether to wait until is selected according to the operation mode.
For this reason, if you want to make communications or copy operations with a telephone or a facsimile device in an urgent manner, you can greatly reduce the waiting time by ending the transmission immediately in the middle of the page, and make an emergency communication with the facsimile device. If it is not necessary to do so, it is possible to wait until the transmission of the page is completed and prevent the same page from being retransmitted, thereby improving the economical efficiency of the transmission.
